Figures & Tables
Fig. 2. (a) Schematic diagram of a fabricated BM-LSC. (b) Photograph of the BM-LSCs with varied dye concentrations from 0 to 160 ppm.
Fig. 3. Normalized absorption (dash line) and emission (solid line) of Yellow 083 (black) and Red 305 (red) in ethyl alcohol. Here, the abbreviations of Y Absorp., R Absorp., Y Emiss., and R Emiss. represent Yellow 083 absorption, Red 305 absorption, Yellow 083 emission, and Red 305 emission, respectively.
Fig. 4. Gain of BM-LSCs with the enhancement of white back reflector and mirrors as a function of mixed dye concentrations. The inset illustrates the schematic of the light transmission path within a BM-LSC on the white back reflector.
Fig. 5. Schematic diagram of the device for measuring the side emission spectra of dye-doped PMMA plates using a fiber optic spectrometer.
Fig. 6. (a) Side emission spectra of the PMMA plate with the dye concentration of 40 ppm as a function of the distance between the laser beam (405 nm) and fiber probe; (b) the side emission spectra of the PMMA plates with varying dye concentrations. The distance between a 405 nm laser beam and the fiber probe was 4 cm.
Fig. 7. Power gain derived from the transmitted light with varying dye concentrations. The inset illustrates schematic of measuring the contribution from transmitted light to the BM-LSC power gain.
